The frontside pop shuvit, or front shuv, is another basic, fun and stylish trick. Once you get your regular shuvits down, go ahead and try these.

How To Frontside Pop Shuvit

1. Start with your front foot hanging slightly off the toe-side of your board, have the ball/arch of your back foot in the heel-side concave pocket of the tail.

2. Pop off your back foot and simultaneously scoop the board for the rotation. Use your front foot to guide the board around, avoid flicking the edge as to keep the board from flipping. Keep your shoulders straight.

3. As the board comes around, keep your front foot out and ready for the catch.

4. Once you catch the board with your front foot, bring your back foot back to the board.

5. Try to land bolts and ride away clean!

Keep in mind that this trick might end up rotating slightly behind you, so as you pop jump backwards a little for an easier catch. Get out there, try a few, and go skate!
